A sense of adequacy as a person, but this is tied to a relationship as much as sex. Being able to make someone cum when they have had difficulty with other partners is a terribly wonderful feeling to have, especially when one can anticipate future visits and possibly a life with this person.

Yes, it has a positive mental effect for me. Better mood, more focused, etc.

Well, when my gf and I were close and had sex everyday, I felt more relaxed in general, and had more resistance. Also I lasted longer in bed (but my semen production used to be low bc of the frequent sex lol). Actually being long distance for so long and having little sex as a result has worsened my lasting, sometimes I cum in minutes. It's not bc of masturbation because I've always jerked off at the same frequency, and when we were together I didn't need to do that bc of all the sex we had. Hopefully when we eventually move together and start having sex everyday, it'll improve again.

As an older lady, yes. Use it or lose it, PIV keeps everything healthier down there.

It's funny because when I was younger it felt opposite, like sex was disruptive, more UTI, more yeast infections. But as you get older it changes, the everyday quickie in particular really does keep me in good shape, ladies who don't do sex that involves penetration get more problems with dryness and atrophy.

Moisturing 👌 It always brighting up my day when I have sex, also having a fap is something I could put in selfcare. Moreover I tend to be really horny in a lot of situations and there was a time I could nearly be unrespectful with friends because the tension was just too much

So yes, basic healthcare x)
